well, you probably have all noticed it.

But with the 412 installed, the exhausts are no longer horizontal...

I have noticed that on my Bob too, lowering my front end should balance it up a little again.

By changing the springs. I have Progressive Front Fork lowering kit on special order from Phat Performance. I believe I am the first to order from Progressive. Should be here within 2 weeks. Lowers the front 1 or 2 inches.

Just my opinion and question, but if you're refering to the exhaust being parallel with the swingarm who cares? TOMMAY, I think the bike looks BadA$$ just like that. The swingarm pitched up a little just says, "Hey, this bike has been lowered!"

Clayman - It's so new that no one will have the part # (Drag Specialties), if you're interested, contact Matt at Phat Performance. They have a good relationship whith Progressive, and he has the actual part number from Progressive (10-1566). You may also contact Beth at Progressive, who will confirm that part number.

but Ill try 2 try - I agree with you that if the mufflers don't straighten out, it wouldn't matter, it still would look good.
